The question as to why church

high at the Nkwen Baptist Church following reports that a total sum of FCFA 5.5
million was consumed by fire. The incident of January 20, 2014 has been talk of
the day among CBC church goers in Bamenda town and even beyond. The story goes
that the sum of FCFA 5.5 million was handed to Pa Mike Kuiyo so that he keeps
in the accounting unit of the CBC but four days after, the money was reported
gulped by fire. Allegations abound that Mike Kuiyo mistakenly dropped the money
into the waste basket. The content was later emptied and set on fire. It is aired that some pupils of CBC primary
school noticed that money was being consumed by fire they took advantage to
benefit some few banknotes. More so, it is also alleged that when alerted on
the occurrence, some workers of the Education board of the CBC also benefitted
to pick some few banknotes. Yet the General Secretary of the CBC as well as
pastor Njini Edward have kept seal lips on the issue. According to a hint, the
judicial police in Bamenda recently opened an investigation on the FCFA 5.5
million saga. Inside sources at the CBC hinted at weekend that a commission of
Inquiry headed by Ngafeeson Emmanuel has been named and others members
according to the hint include Prof. Tih Pius and Fai Yengo Francis. Tongues are
waging at CBC Nkwen as some Christians have started pointing accusing fingers
at their enemies and suspecting them of having a hidden hand in the incident.
